36. Hear another passage, your sacred
Majesty,—hear the voice of Christ. “Thus saith the
Lord Almighty: After His glory The quotation is
from Zech. ii. 8—“after His
glory.” Lat.—“Post honorem.”
LXX.—ὀπίσω
δόξης.
Vulg.—“Post gloriam.” A.V.—“
After the glory.” hath He sent
me against the nations which have made spoil of you, forasmuch as he
that toucheth you is as he that toucheth the pupil of His eye.
For lo, I lay my hand upon them which despoiled you, and I will save
you, and they shall be for a spoil, which made spoil of you, and they
shall know that the Lord Almighty hath sent Me.” Plainly,
He Who speaks is the Lord Almighty, and He Who hath sent is the Lord
Almighty. By consequence, then, almighty power appertains both to
the Father and to the Son; nevertheless, it is One Almighty God, for
there is oneness of Majesty.
